Socks for Sale!

I didn't realize it has been 3 months since my last post. My how time flies.

I have done a bit of tatting but nothing that I really wish to post. However, I have been knitting socks.

I have registered a company in my state - Farmgal's Twisted Fiber - and will be trying to sell socks, tatted lace and crocheted items at various venues in the area. In the mean time, I have a page on Facebook -- Farmgal's Twisted Fiber

I have posted my first 4 pair of socks for sale. If you click on the picture, you will be able to read the caption listing the fiber content and the sizing.

#1

$25.00 + postage

#2

$30.00 + postage

#3

$25.00 + postage

#4

$30.00 + postage

Each of these is made from SuperWash wool and a synthetic such as nylon for wear strength.

Oh, I do not knit these 2 needles, I knit these with 60 needles. Here is a picture of my 1924 Sock Knitting Machine

you can ignore the text boxes in this picture, that was for something else, but this is a good picture of my setup.

If you have any questions, I will try to give you an accurate answer.

On another note, I have a broody hen out in the chicken house. 2 more weeks, and we should have baby chicks.

I love your socks! I used to yearn for a sock knitting machine, but the ones I could find were out of my price range and I'm not very good about learning to use things on my own. Good luck with your new business!
